Of all the kid atlases, I like this one the best. It has real road maps so kids actually learn and practice how to use them. (Many of the other atlases don’t.) This is a great choice for cross-country travel in the U.S. so that you can see the map keys, play state games and puzzles, learn more about states, and more. (Use with your AAA maps and books!?)

This is a fun way to keep your knowledge from slipping over the summer. Take these questions in the car and quiz the other people in your family. (Available for grades 1 – 7.)see a sample page (from grade 4):

Kids love these brightly colored write and wipe books for practicing numbers, letters and more. Wipe clean and reuse! I also like Pen Controlwhich has younger kids work on drawing lines — squiggly, zig-zag, and more.

This is a HUGE map poster for travel planning and recording. Then use the 180 stickers to mark where you live, where you’ve been, where you’d like to go, and more. Flip the map over and learn facts about every country.

Of all the workbooks in the world, my kids prefer this one. (If they had to pick.) The colorful design and easy-to-follow directions are spot on for each age group. I use these for summer vacation review and practice — picking and choosing what the kids need. (I usually rip out the pages for the younger kiddo because this is as very large book.)see a sample page:
